Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud begged a ‘sexy brunette’ to have a threesome with him and a team-mate, according to The Sun.

The French star, who has been dogged by revelations about his personal life in recent weeks, is said to have asked the woman to ‘romp’ with him and a fellow Gunners player ahead of the infamous 6-3 defeat to Manchester City.

The incident is alleged to have happened the night before December’s defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Giroud recently issued a Twitter apology to his wife over revelations that he had taken a model to the team hotel ahead of the January win over Crystal Palace.

The striker admitted Celia Kay had been in his hotel room in the early hours of the matchday morning but denied committing adultery.
